total business space<br />
to be developed in different phases until the year 2013<br />

Located in the Llobregat river delta, the <strong>Mobility</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Logistics</strong><br />
<strong>Hub</strong> comprises a range of services, infrastructures, businesses<br />
<strong>and</strong> institutions just five minutes from Barcelona, making the site<br />
an excellent destination for businesses.<br />
This strategically located hub, with business space available,<br />
has direct links to El Prat International Airport, which the<br />
magazine Air Cargo News ranked as the best freight transport<br />
airport in Europe in 2009, <strong>and</strong> to the Port of Barcelona, the<br />
number-one port for Mediterranean cruises <strong>and</strong> one of the most<br />
important international traffic.<br />
Thanks to these first-rate transport links, the <strong>Mobility</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Logistics</strong> <strong>Hub</strong> is the ideal location for companies in high valueadded<br />
sectors, especially those in the logistics, mobility <strong>and</strong><br />
aeronautical sectors.<br />
The <strong>Mobility</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Logistics</strong> <strong>Hub</strong> has transformed the towns<br />
of Viladecans <strong>and</strong> Castelldefels into the ideal location for<br />
investment in the aeronautical <strong>and</strong> mobility sectors. The science<br />
<strong>and</strong> technology services in these towns make it possible for<br />
the businesses located in the hub to collaborate with major<br />
universities, technology centres <strong>and</strong> research centres.<br />
One of the most important benefits of the hub is the<br />
consolidated business network that exists in the hub’s topclass<br />
industrial estates, including the Mas Blau <strong>and</strong> Mas Mateu<br />
industrial parks.<br />
Furthermore, the towns of Sant Boi <strong>and</strong> El Prat offer logistics<br />
companies the ultimate location in which to base themselves,<br />
thanks to a combination of facilities, including the Zona Franca<br />
Industrial Park, the ZAL (the logistics platform for the Port<br />
of Barcelona, with excellent intermodal transport links) <strong>and</strong><br />
Mercabarna (the city of Barcelona’s wholesale market).<br />

The Aerospace <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mobility</strong> Park offers a strategically located<br />
space just five minutes from Barcelona Airport, both for industrial<br />
<strong>and</strong> technological use. It is the perfect space for businesses in the<br />
aeronautical, mobility, <strong>and</strong> air- <strong>and</strong> space-navigation sectors, as<br />
well as companies that supply airport equipment <strong>and</strong> components<br />
for all types of vehicles, thereby putting the automotive <strong>and</strong><br />
aeronautical industries at each other’s disposal.<br />
The park will accommodate the Aerospace Research <strong>and</strong><br />
Technology Centre (CTAE), which specializes in satellite navigation<br />
applications, new space materials, air freight services <strong>and</strong> safety<br />
systems, <strong>and</strong> support systems for space exploration robotics.<br />
The park will also house the aerodynamic Wind Tunnel, a unique<br />
The Mediterranean Technology Park (PMT) is a multidisciplinary<br />
science <strong>and</strong> technology park where ICTs, aeronautics <strong>and</strong> space<br />
engineering, bio-engineering, biotechnology <strong>and</strong> agro-food<br />
engineering, optical <strong>and</strong> photonic sciences <strong>and</strong> technologies,<br />
geoinformation technologies <strong>and</strong> numerical methods in<br />
engineering all come together.<br />
The park is also home to seven technology <strong>and</strong> research<br />
centres, two advanced-learning centres belonging to the<br />
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, <strong>and</strong> technology-based<br />
companies involved in RDI activities (research, development<br />

for the new economy.<br />
The Zona Franca Industrial Park, a 600-hectare industrial area<br />
in Barcelona, is owned by the Zona Franca Consortium. The<br />
Consortium is developing the BZ Barcelona Innovation Zone,<br />
which is located in a 50-hectare space within the industrial park,<br />
project that promotes the transformation of current conventional<br />
industry into a new type of industry based on knowledge,<br />
research <strong>and</strong> development, innovation <strong>and</strong> creation that is<br />
compatible <strong>and</strong> integrated in an urban setting.<br />
The zone’s proximity to major transport <strong>and</strong> communication<br />
links makes it one of the best-connected areas in the world.<br />
It is situated just seven kilometres from the centre of Barcelona<br />
<strong>and</strong> its airport, 500 metres from the port <strong>and</strong> 200 metres<br />

Franca Consortium offers spaces that are designed especially<br />
for companies engaged in logistics, food transformation <strong>and</strong><br />
distribution.
